Around twenty years ago I was going through hard times. I could not find a satisfying job. To my shame, I had to drive a school bus to make ends meet and lived in a friend’s house.
One afternoon, while driving through a quiet suburban (郊外的) neighborhood I was so sad that I kept asking myself “Why has my life become so hard?” “What’s wrong with the world?” Then I pulled over the bus to drop off a little girl and as she passed she handed me a pretty earring, saying she found it on the floor of the bus and I should keep it in case the owner came to look for it.
In the evening, the owner did come to look for her earring. When I handed it to her, she got very excited and continued saying “Thanks, you’re a real gentleman.” I told her that she should thank the little girl who had found it. She said, “Yes, and you are a good driver, too. What a lovely world it is!” Then she left with satisfaction. I was touched by her last words. I had thought something was wrong with the world just because of my poor condition. In fact, nothing was wrong with the world. I should change my attitude towards life. I should be positive about life.
At first it was hard, and then it got easier. Every day I could find things to make me happy. Then one night there was a phone call for me at my friend’s house from a lady who was a manager in a large hospital. She said she had read my application form and asked me if I would like to work in the hospital. I said yes and got the job. Looking back at the experience I know the most important is to have a positive attitude towards life.
1.We know from the second paragraph that ________.
A.the author cried while driving that afternoon
B.a girl picked up an earring before getting off
C.there was only one passenger on the bus
D.the girl gave the author an earning as a gift

A.what the earring owner said moved him
B.he didn’t want to be a driver any more
C.his friends helped him become positive
D.he was offered a better job in a hospital

About six years ago I was going through a tough time, trying to work two jobs to afford my rent. On a cold Sunday morning, I went to GameStop - a video game retailer(零售商), to cancel the game I'd reserved. A woman in a car parked outside called me when I exited the store. Though it was in broad daylight, I was shy about it and kept some distance when I walked over. She said she couldn't walk and requested me to purchase a Kinect, a popular game, for her as her son's Christmas gift. Because of her leg disease it was painful to her to move around. She called ahead but the employee wasn't willing to help. She gave me about$100 in cash and her credit card.
I walked back in and bought the Kinect. Then it occurred to me that this woman, a complete stranger, trusted me. What was it that stopped me from lying about the payment method and just pocket her cash?She couldn't know I wasn't a cheat; and how could she possibly believe in someone so much?
I handed her the cash back, explaining I had to pay with her card - it was above $100 at the time, and handed over the game and her credit card. "This is what my son's been longing for. Thank you! By the way, just from glancing at you, I know you are the one who will be a friend to someone in need. You have a face of an angel!" she said. She gave me $10 and refused to take it back. Then she drove away, saying "Merry Christmas!"
She had no idea how much of a difference even $10 made. I was able to buy a few cheap groceries for the week and it really made a hard time in my life a little better. She may think I helped her; however, I truly feel like the one who was being gifted something amazing.

2.Which of the following words can best describe the author? ______

Around this time a few years ago, it was common to see videos of friends on social media having a bucket of icy water thrown on them. Known as the “ice bucket challenge”, it was created as a way to raise money for the medical condition ALS. But now, there’s a new challenge and this time, no water is involved.
What is it? Well, think of a fruit that you’d never normally sink your teeth into. Perhaps you’ve got it: a lemon. While we enjoy using lemons to add flavor to dishes, very few of us would actually eat one as we’d eat an apple or an orange.
But the horrible taste is the precise reason why the “lemon face challenge” is taking off. Participants bite into a lemon, taking a selfie as they do it before posting the photo online. The fun is all about expression people make as all that citric acid (柠檬酸) hits their taste buds (味蕾). Every expression seems to say, “This is worse than freezing water.”
The serious side to this trend is the good cause it’s all in aid of. The challenge aims to raise awareness of a rare brain cancer that affects young children. It was started by Aubregh Nicholas, an 11-year-old US kid. She was diagnosed with this rare brain cancer herself in September 2017, but has since raised almost $50000 to cover her medical expenses thanks to the challenge.
If a challenge is going to raise publicity and contributions from people, it has to be something interesting and original. That way the ice bucket challenge took off in 2014 and it explains why so many people are now sharing their lemon faces. There are a lot of stories about the downside of social media these days. The charity challenges, however, show how online culture can unite the world and bring help to the people who most need it.
1.Why is the icy bucket challenge mentioned in the article?
A. To show how charity gained its popularity online.
B. To introduce a similar challenge that raises money for charity.
C. To attract people’s attention to a rare disease.
D. To prove its popularity around the world.
2.Compared with the pre-Internet charity, what is the advantage of online charity?
A. It raises more money than ever before.
B. It is started by the people who suffer rare diseases.
C. It brings people together easily and quickly.
D. It causes little doubt among people.
3.What does the underlined phrase “take off’ in the last paragraph mean?
A. Go away suddenly. B. Become successful and popular.
C. Remove your clothes. D. Take a break.
4.What is the author’s attitude towards online charity?
A. Positive. B. Indifferent.
C. Negative. D. Ambiguous.

Eating disorder is very common now. “When I first wrote about this twenty years ago, the problem was pretty much hidden. I didn’t expect it to get as bad as it is.” Susie Orbach, aged 48, an international authority on eating disorders, said.
Girls, boys, old people even the famously well-rounded female population of Fiji are falling victims (受害者) to fat fear. “The situation has got much, much worse. We now have kids as young as eight and women in old people’s homes worried about the way they look.” Orbach said.
Even though it has been proved that repeated dieting results in a little more than regaining most of the lost weight, constant dieting has become a way of life for many women. 48 percent of British women aged 25 to 35 were on some kind of diet and 20 percent of young women dieted all or most of time. Some of them said they would pop a pill to give them tier beautiful shape, even if it meant risking their health. Worldwide, 70 million people have an eating disorder. Most are women, but men are increasingly affected, too.
More than half the women and two thirds of the men in Britain weigh too much. While in the United States more than one quarter of adults and about one in five children are overweight. The idea that female beauty is a very thin body could be changed, if clothing factories and magazines showed images of women of all shapes instead of selecting skeletal-like models and stick-thin actress.
1.How old was Susie Orbach when she found the problem of eating disorder?
A. 48 B. 28
C. 20 D. 25
2.We can learn from the passage that .
A. 48 percent of British women were on some kind of diet
B. 20 percent of British women would pop a pill to be in shape
C. 70 million people in the world suffer from an eating disorder
D. More than half of the British men and women weigh too much
3.How can we change the idea about beauty?
A. Repeated dieting is encouraged.
B. Clothing factories selecting skeletal-like models.
C. Magazines showed images of women of stick-thin actress.
D. Both fat and thin ladies take part in clothing public show.
4.What does this text probably come from?
A. Medical magazine B. Healthy life style
C. A science report D. An advertisement
